The Myth of Fingerprints with Jonah Luke

A new Podcast exploring Music and the Stories behind it.

Hosted by Jonah Luke, this show brings interviews with musicians from all genres to talk about their music and their lives. Punctuated with a song or two from each artist, the podcast will be a great way to discover new sounds while understanding the story of each artist in the style of Humans of New York and StoryCorps.

Portland has this great festival every summer called the Waterfront Blues Fest. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to see Chubby Carrier perform there, and it was one of the must fun, entertaining, lively Zydeco performances I’d ever seen.

Chubby is a Grammy Award winning musician who works full time performing, recording, and running his own record company. In this interview we talk about the Waterfront Blues Fest, what music Chubby listens to, and the difference between Cajun and Zydeco music.

Why the name? The Myth of Fingerprints is taken from a Paul Simon song off his Graceland album. It's also the name of a 1997 movie, but I haven't seen the movie and didn't know it existed until I made this podcast. I chose the name because Paul Simon's Graceland album is probably my favorite album of all time, and I want this podcast to explore all types of music in order to find commonalities and connections across genres and people.
